Filtrox Filter Sheets | 20 Cm X 20 Cm | 6 Micron are designed to provide a high-quality filtration solution for home winemakers and professionals alike. These 20 cm x 20 cm filter pads fit seamlessly into all standard 20x20 plate filters, making them an ideal choice for anyone looking to refine their wine-making process. The 6 Micron rating of these filter sheets provides a rough filtration that effectively removes large particulates, often followed by a finer filtration to achieve the desired level of clarity and purity. This type of filtration is particularly useful for wines with heavy sedimentation, as it helps prevent clogging of finer filters. Moreover, the Filtrox filter pads are easily sterilizable via heat or steam, making them a convenient and safe choice for winemakers.

Manufactured by Filtrox, the world's leading producer of high-quality filtration media, these filter pads are made to the highest standards of quality and performance. The 20cm x 20cm size ensures a snug fit in all standard 20x20 plate filters, making it easy to upgrade or replace existing filters. The 6 Micron rating of these filter pads is considered to be a "rough" filtration and is typically used to prepare the wine to be filtered by finer pads, usually either 2-3 micron or 1.5 micron depending on the winemaker's tastes and objectives.

It's essential to note that all pad filters are rated 'nominal', meaning that about 90-95% of all particulate matter at the micron rating will be filtered out. There will always be a little bit of smaller material that is also filtered out, as well as some larger material that will make it through. However, this does not compromise the effectiveness of the filtration process. The filters can be sterilized by in-line steam, auto-claving, dry heat, hot water or chemical methods, ensuring that they remain clean and free of contaminants.

Each pad has an entry side and an exit side, distinguishable by their different textures. The entry side is a billowy type texture, frequently called the "rough" side; and the exit side has a crosshatch pattern and is commonly called the "smooth" side. This unique design ensures that the filter pads perform optimally, capturing impurities and sediment with ease.
